Today\u2019s NaBloPoMo Prompt:<\/strong> Do you still print out photos in albums or are most your photos digital?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cStill.\u201d Ha. As if I ever did. Nope, I\u2019m one-hundred percent digital, one hundred percent of the time.<\/p>\n

My pictures are for Instagram, Flickr, 500px, Viewbug, Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter. I do hope that people look at them, but I don\u2019t know what the point of printing them out in an album would be.<\/p>\n

We only have one photo album in this house, and that\u2019s our wedding album. We had a professional photographer at our wedding (it was a three day event, actually) but after we bought the photos it took us a year to pick the pictures we wanted and do the layout and have the darn thing printed. Now it gathers dust. Oh, for the first few years when people came to visit us for the first time, the wedding album would be on a coffee table for folks to look at. And a few people who weren\u2019t at the wedding liked looking at it. But just once. I mean, maybe 5% of all the photos made it into that thing.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m trying to think what would be the point of printing out the photos at all. In another post I mentioned a cookbok my wife compiled and we printed for her sister. It has a few pictures of food I took, but I don\u2019t know if that counts. And then there\u2019s this service we found that will print a bunch of greeting cards for you using your instagram photos. Does that count as printing pictures.<\/p>\n

Broken record alert: I\u2019ve said it before, that I don\u2019t take pictures just to create memories, and so photo albums are just not a part of my universe. I suppose when I go to someone\u2019s house and see an album sitting there I\u2019ll flip through it out of curiosity. But just the once.
\nAnd all of this begs the question if the pictures I take are even print-worthy.<\/p>\n
